Here's a round-up of breakfast spots in Nottingham city centre that you must try! **Posted:** Dec 2025 --- **Yolk** First up, in the bustling neighbourhood of Hockley, we have an independent coffee shop and breakfast joint – [**yolk.**](https://www.yolknotts.com/book) Filled with sunshine, the coffee shop is warm, welcoming and is a great place to start your morning. What’s even better is their window and outdoor seating where you feel main character energy! Choose from a classic Eggs Benedict or go full English. If you’re an avocado lover, enjoy a Cowgirl (that’s the name of the dish!). Or try the Hashville, the sautéed potatoes do not disappoint! Don’t worry, they provide vegan options, too. They also do amazing coffees but if you’re really feeling it, sip on a Mimosa or a Bloody Mary as a perfect accompaniment to your meal. *Yolk, 29 Goose Gate, Nottingham NG1 1FE* **Blend at Contemporary** Next, is [**Blend at Contemporary**](https://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/visit/cafe/). Famous for their grilled cheese sandwiches, they also have a fabulous breakfast range served till 12 noon daily and brunch that’s served all day long. If you’re craving something sweet and savoury, order their Chicken and Brioche, which is a twist to chicken and waffles. Or go extremely sweet with their Chocolate and Banana French Toast. You can also belt it out with a fulfilling Carnivore or Herbivore breakfast plate. They have an elaborate range of less gluten and vegan options. All this sounds amazing but what’s in it for toddlers, you may ask? Blend has a sensory-friendly kids menu served from 9.30am to 4pm daily. Your kids can customise how they would like their toast – from topping to how they would like it cut. How cute is that! If you’re in the area, make sure to visit, get a table outside and enjoy breakfast with a view overlooking the [**greenery of Sussex Street**](/news/parklets-small-spaces-with-big-impact/)**.** Maybe have a walk down the grand steps of Contemporary and go for a post-breakfast stroll, you’ll even spot our [mural](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7E1uFeih-I/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)! *Blend at Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham NG1 2GB* **Add some fizz to your breakfast with our** [**guide to Bottomless Brunches in Nottingham**](/news/bottomless-brunches-in-nottingham/)**!** **BEAR** Slap-bang in the middle of Nottingham’s creative neighbourhood is [**BEAR**](https://bemorebear.co/pages/hockley-nottingham), on the rainbow path of Carlton Street.
